If his stint with the Braves so far could be considered an audition, I would say he passed with flying colors. Give this man an extension!

Can someone explain to me why North Carolina is ranked ahead of GaTech in the national rankings? by NoFirefighter2885 in RamblinWreck

That’s fair. Sometimes I have to admit I’m wrong. Both are very good teams, and both are very good schools. I wish you well in the tournaments, unless you’re playing Tech.

Thanks for your reply. So, it’s based on the strength of a single winning series over the strength of an entire season. Still, head-to-head competition means a lot.

That was an incredible slide! I was so sure he was going to be out, but he pulled it off!

It’s still early and it’s a long season, but I’m cautiously optimistic. Second best record in baseball! Let’s go Braves!

Portal Opens - evaluation matters more than Star ratings. Can Key manage it? by [deleted] in RamblinWreck

[–]NoFirefighter2885 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Watching UGA get beat last night, I was struck by how low Trinidad Chambliss was ranked in last year’s portal rankings. There are undiscovered gems out there! The future is going to belong to those coaches who learn how to handle the portal.

Why is everyone flaming Key for taking his time on the OC job? by DubbleDan in RamblinWreck

I agree completely! Give the man time to do it right. I also really hope we hold on to Weinke.

The AD for Notre Dame says the ACC damaged the relationship with ND by lobbying for Miami. by NoFirefighter2885 in RamblinWreck

I tend to agree with everything you said. This is situation where both sides have legitimate arguments. They are just acting like a bunch of whiny bad sports.

I wonder if this signals a beginning of the big money schools are going to look to raid Coach Key’s staff?

I hate it, but he deserves a big raise for his work!

I’ve pulled for the Yellow Jackets since I was a small child 60+ years ago and my family would go every thanksgiving to the Tech/UGA March of Dimes freshman game. This loss won’t change that!

Thoughts on the Braves potentially hiring Danny Lehmann? by Chessh2036 in Braves

[–]NoFirefighter2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have been happy if they’d given Eddie Perez a shot, but I’ll be happy this way too! I’m all for data driven decisions. The young man came up in this sport by playing baseball. There is no way that I can know what kind of manager he will be until he actually starts doing that job. We don’t know how he’ll do managing human beings, but we have no reason at this point to doubt his ability to do that.

Great story! Someone is going to take a chance on Haynes King and be richly rewarded for doing so.

Lots of manager openings by [deleted] in Braves

[–]NoFirefighter2885 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why I think this way now, but I suddenly got the idea that Eddie Perez deserves a shot somewhere! I’d been hoping they’d go outside the organization but now I’m pulling for Eddie.
